[rrd-users] Re: Problem with compiling rrdtool on Sparc-Solaris 8

[Marcus Vinicius Ferreira]

Hello Robert,

This happened to me too. The problem is that the version of Perl
shipped with solaris was compiled with Sun's Workshop C compiler and
some flags are not compatible with gcc.

You have 2 options: 
  First) Use Sun's compiler to install rrd.

 Second) Download and install Perl using gcc. The pre-installed
         perl resides in /usr and if you install a new version
         in /usr/local (for example) and manage to put this
         location first in PATH variable things will be fine.

In my servers I used the second option.
